14/53 "Something's broken at my seat," Hamilton radioed to his team. So far, he does not seem to bother him anymore, he is driving fastest time. Previously, Vettel was the fastest lap to date. The current order

Bottas
Leclerc
Verstappen

11/53 Because Perez drove off the track shortly after the start and had an "advantage" according to the race committee, there is a five-second penalty he has to serve during the pit stop. He is currently twelfth. Meanwhile, Ferrari informs Leclerc of graining his tires, but the wear is pretty normal, his lap times too.
9/53 World championship leader Hamilton drives a fast lap to the next here, lying in first position. His lead on Bottas is already 2.5 seconds. Vettel is still 8 seconds behind the fourth, Verstappen.
7/53 Hamilton has more than two seconds ahead of his team-mate Bottas as leader. At Giovinazzi the soft tire seems to be degrading, he is overtaken by Ricciardo and also Räikkonen passes by. Vettel is now past the second McLaren driver, Sainz. Now he has to make up for time on the fourth – Verstappen.
5/53 Verstappen is not satisfied with his engine and communicates that via Funct. At the start he was almost past Leclerc, but then suddenly he could not keep up. Meanwhile, Vettel overtakes McLaren pilot Norris and is now sixth.
2/53 The McLaren riders in positions five and six can not keep up with the speed of the top riders. That's bad for Vettel, who drives behind the two. He should try to get past them as soon as possible.
1/53 In the front everything has remained the same: Hamilton in front of Bottas before Leclerc in front of Verstappen. Sainz is past Norris. Vettel is now in seventh place behind the Briton. Verstappen Leclerc had tried to overtake, but did not make it.
BEGIN
WARM-UP
The top riders start with yellow, ie medium tires. Presumably, then follows the change to the white.
The circuit in Le Castellet has been back in the F1 calendar since 2018. In the previous year, there was a collision between Mercedes driver and Ferrari driver Vettel in the first corner. It's 385 meters from the start line to the first corner.
Ferrari had to replace the oil pump on the SF90 of Sebastian Vettel after qualifying. The team had discovered an oil leak and repaired the damage under Parc-Fermé conditions. That is allowed and does not result in any punishment.
"We may have a chance, but Mercedes is just way too fast," says Verstappen of Red Bull on Sky Micro just before the start. And are you worrying about the two McLaren cars behind them? "No not at all."
Sebastian Vettel had to lay down a nice sprint to be present on time for the Nationalmyne. Lewis Hamilton was also late, but drove very leisurely with the e-scooter.
Circuit Paul Ricard is called the Renenstrecke. There are 53 laps to go to the finish line. There are 9 right turns and 6 left turns. The weather: Sunny at 29 degrees, the asphalt temperature is 54 degrees.
The starting position:
1. Hamilton (United Kingdom) – Mercedes
2. Bottas (Finland) – Mercedes
3. Leclerc (Monaco) – Ferrari
4. Verstappen (Netherlands – Red Bull
5. Norris (United Kingdom) – McLaren
6. Sainz (Spain) – McLaren
7. Vettel (Germany) – Ferrari
Once again, silver dominates the first row of the grid. Overall already for the 63rd time in the premier class of motorsport – a record. That today, in the 8th of a total of 21 races a different color at the end on the podium can be seen, seems unlikely at present. The German Vettel has qualified this time only for the seventh starting position. But that may not be so dramatic for him, but the four-time World Champion married his partner during the week – congratulations.
